Dulce de Leche French Toast Bake image

I'm a big fan of dulce de leche and am always looking for a way to incorporate it into sweet dishes. I decided to make a breakfast dish that was reminiscent of a luscious dulce de leche cheesecake. The pecan topping takes the dish over the top without making it overly sweet. No maple syrup is needed for this French toast casserole!-Anna Stigger, Katy, Texas

This bake is a bit too rich for me. I think I would prefer a more traditional French toast recipe.

I had some trouble getting the bake to set. I think I may have needed to cook it for a little longer.

The bake was a little too sweet for my taste. I think I would use less dulce de leche next time.
